CAPITOL THEATRE That shuddery entertainment phenomena, the horror drama, quickens its pace and lengthens its stride in Universal’s latest and most pretentious shocker, “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man,” which will open tonight at the Capitol Theatre. | As indicated in the title, not one, but two monsters supply thrills and chills in the new picture. In uniting the Frankenstein mon- ster with the Wolf Man, Universal has a terrifying pair of fiends and the ingenious method by which they have been teamed by scenarist Cur- tis Siodmak, deserves unqualified; praise. Siodmak’s original screen play not only revives the Franken- stein monster and the Wolf Man from their respective tombs, but speeds them through a series of dastardly crimes which out-shock | their previous cinema depredations. Ilona Massey, co-starred with| Patric Knowles, is seen as Baron- ess Elsa Frankenstein, current resi- dent of the haunted Frankenstein | castle where the dramatic action centers. A musical comedy entitled “Moon- light Masquerade” starring Betty Kean and Eddie Foy, Jr. will also be | seen on the weekend double bill.

To bring before the liquor re-| tailers of Alaska the situation to- day in the alcoholic beverages in- dustry, Mr. Badrian, whose head-| quarters are in Seattle, Al Shyman, manager, and J. J. Meherin, sales director of Alaska Distributors, are meeting in Juneau today and will travel through the Terrltory.: Already Mr. Badrian and Mr. Shy- man have visited Ketchikan, Wran- gell and Petersburg. Today the group met with all local liquor deal- ers at an informal luncheon at the Baranof Hotel to discuss their mu-| tual problems. Problems Are Many And these problems are many. First of all, as proved by the scatis-} tics of the Internal Revenue Bu-| reau, there is a shortage of Hquor.l Pearl Harbor and our antry into World War II, the Gov- srnment’s demand for alcohol for war purposes became so great that| the manufacture of it for beverage} purposes ‘was prohibited, effective October 8, 1942, and since then not a drop has been made. | Distilled spirits on hand (inven- tory of Feb. 28, 1944) were 302,907,- 255—just about a two-year supply, if one judges by 1943 consumption, which totalled 153,178,500 gallons. Consumption had decreased about 30,000,000 gallons in 1943 from 1942, due to enforced rationing by dis-| tillers who saw the threat of the end of their supply of liquor. | And as liquor supplies have de-! creased, taxes have increased. | At the time of repeal of the pro-' hibition act in December, 1933, the Federal tax ofi distilled spirits was $1.10 per proof gallon. Almost year by year increases were made until, effective April 1, 1944, the tax be- came $9 per proof gallon—an in- crease of 71 per cent. | Industry Tax: Bill Biggest } “The industry’s 1943 tax bill for the nation, including distilled spir- its, beer and wine was $1,454,201,727, which would buy 6,000 Flying Fort- | resses; fully, equipped and in the air,” Mr. Badrian said, adding that this is the highest industrial tax paid by any industry in the country. “Taxes account for the increased price of liquor to the consumer. Because of the scarcity of liquor, the industry has been accused of hoarding supplies for, higher prices and profit, an accusation which is unfounded. Prices are fixed by the OPA, and higher prices have re- sulted from higher taxes,” Badrian explains, Per capita, the liquor release to Alaska by the distllers has been greater than in any part of the country. In the seventeen monopoly states rationing ranges from one bottle of whiskey in two weeks to one bottle in seven weeks with, in some states a bonus, when supplies allow, of rum, ®andy, gin, and wine. In private sales states, available supply automatically rations liquor It is the purpose of Badrian, Shy- man and Meherin in their trip through the Territory to present to dealers the national situation in the liquor industry, to give them a clearer conception and understand- ing of the serious shortage of lig- Wanted!
